Changed every setting I can find on my new Touch Pro 2 but no HSPDA...
Think my phone is defective?
Any post appreciated
um... first of all, if you own a TP2, then you own a version that doesn't support US 3g.
Second.... wel no thats pretty much it.. sorry man.. If you want 3g speeds, you have to wait for AT&T to release their version of the TP2 (called the Fortress). As it is now, any TP2 that is unlocked is limited to Edge speeds. Sucks i know, but thats how it is Unless AT&T is in Europe and uses different bands for 3g over there that im not aware of.
Darn it. I know you're right it's just disappointing.
Thanks for laying it all out there for me.
Still a super cool phone tho! I hope it's not worn out before 3G makes it to me...
Was a very good replacement for my Sedna
My available WCDMA bands are:
GSM(900+1800)+UMTS(900+2100)
GSM(1900+850)+UMTS(1900+850)
UMTS(2100+800)
Which is kinda funny because my Sedna will do 3G on the GSM(1900+850)+UMTS(1900+850) and this Touch Pro 2 will not.

tha tis because its radio doesnt actually have those available. it may list them but they are not available. you cant always trust the interface. this has been the case with the TP1,Diamond 1, TP2 and the HD
TP2 supports 900/2100 UMTS band and missing the 1900 (Reason why I didn't get TD2 or TP2). I have an Xperia X1i which supports the 1900 band and it works with ATT 3G flawlessly

Umm, correct me if Im wrong but wont the particular touch pro 2 you have never support att's 3g? I think if you want an touch pro 2 that works with their 3g you have to buy the one branded for them dont you?

currently yes. Thats not to say someone will not figure out how to get the bands enabled but so far the efforts for the TP1 and the HD have not proven successful (last i heard). If someone firgures out how to enable them (if even possible) i believe this community would put some money in their hands me included

wait does that mean that the unlocked versions technically are compatible with USA 3g but they just have it disabled?

No the bands just arent there. I've been a helper monkey for testing the US 3g capabilities of TP1 and helping with hacking attempts on it and trust me its not happening and I'll bet same on TP2
ok i searched, but i couldn't find the correct response for my question so i figured i would ask.
i have a TP2 GSM from Europe- it has both front and back cameras. the phone works great, but i was wondering if there is a way to get it to work on the ATT 3G network in the USA. if anyone has any ideas on this i would appreciate it.
Thanks-

I believe the answer is no. The 3G bands your phone take in are different from the 3G bands AT&T's network uses. If someone else could confirm this, that would be great (but I still think it's no).
Sorry!
BTW, welcome to the forums!
cool- thanks for the info. i do get the edge network, but for some reason i am getting slow text messages. but ill fiddle with it and see what i find. thanks again!

I know that China has had CDMA for years and recently in the last few years CDMA 2000 so I am wondering if anyone can confirm this phone being able to work in China?
I know that 4G wont work, until they get a network up even if it is the one that HTC EVO can use is gonna be a miracle, but honestly 3G and 3.5G is enough for now.
I honestly cant see myself using any other phone then this and have already bought it so anyone that can confirm this can put my heart at ease.
I would really like an answer or opinion on this subject.
please and thanks
I was trying to find a way to use mobile data during a call. I know iphone can do it (gsm) and my brothers crickett android can do it(cdma). So I was wondering if there was a hack that lets our super awesome evos do it. I know you can do it on 4g but what about 3g.
Wifi will work in a call, but not 3g. I haven't tried 4g, but suspect it may since it runs on a different freq.

4g does work at same time as a call.
Thanks guys for the replies. I knew this much, but I was wondering if there was a work around or a hack to enable in call data access. I first thought it wasn't possible because of the technology, but then like i said, it can be done on CDMA because my brother's cricket android does it. ( I had thought maybe only GSM could do it). I hope someone can either confirm that it is absolutely impossible or find a way to make it happen! Lets go guys, I know you can do it!

It is only possible with certain hardware, on a different version of evdo. I don't remember the revision though. But no, it currently isn't possible on sprint. Sorry

Regarding Cricket, he must be on WiFi if he can use data during a call. Currently deployed versions of CDMA don't support simultaneous voice and data, and I'm 99.99999% sure Cricket is no exception.

Your Bro is blowing smoke up your ass because it is not possible on CDMA. That is wone of its biggest limitations and is AT&Ts number 1 advertising propaganda against Verizon and Sprint.

No, your brother is retarded and using WiFi, or calling over VoIP. Verizon's Thunderbolt is the only CDMA phone to date which can do 3G data and voice calls at the same time (which I haven't investigated to be because VZW actually pushed out a hardware upgrade to their network, or because the Thunderbolt is going to be doing voice as VoIP, or just has multiple radios... Or something).[/thread]
Has anyone been able to get LTE working on USA GSM carriers? Just wondering because I'm able to get H+ but I have not been able to get LTE. With the same APN on my Nexus 5 there is a consistent LTE signal in my house so I know its not the area or towers.

Sprint LTE bands aren't compatible with other US Carriers.

abhinav.tella is correct. Look under LTE band support... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LG_G2
.....but we are only talking sprint software doesn't support it, hardware should be perfectly capable of it correct? Maybe a piece of VS980 code could help here, I also have been looking into getting this working, any info anyone has would be helpful, thanks

Dude, do some research. Sprint does LTE on 850/1900/2600. That's not software but hardware. You won't get LTE on any GSM carrier using a Sprint G2.

Thanks for your very useful input, we understand what sprint LTE bands are already, most of us need to be on 1700. So, since it is a hardware issue not software, can you please enlighten us to which piece of hardware handles these LTE bands?
Also I don't see anywhere it says our hardware, the qualcomm snapdragon 800 is incapable of the 1700 LTE band, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snapdragon_(system_on_chip)#Snapdragon_800 , actually it is proven the hardware is very capable by the other carriers, such as T-mobile and Verizon! I love it when people say you can't or won't ever get something done, motivates me, thanks again :good:
I am thinking about trying to flash a VS980 modem.img, has anyone tried this, soft brick? I have a few different G2 variant builds and I am sure the answer is in one of them! I am wondering, if opening up and editing the original modem.img is possible?

Sweet, I would also like 4G data on my G2 and will try my damnedest to find a solution! I found something interesting in the modem.img of the
VS980, it has a couple more files in it than the LS980!
Mainly I see right away, Verizon includes these, MLSERVER.B00, MLSERVER.B01, MLSERVER.B02, MLSERVER.B03 and
MLSERVER.MDT, sprint does not? I also see Verizon has a couple more modem files, B00-B26 Verizon, B00-B24 Sprint, Verizon also has 1 more
ADSP.B than Sprint, other than these differences they look identical to each other?!

Add these files to.the sprint modem and flash it. See if that does the trick.
It will take some time to find the right files to grab and add, I am looking through the hex and seeing which ones match and which ones are different, I will keep you posted though, any help anyone can give into this would be greatly appreciated! (there are a ton of hex values)

:Smashes head into wall: The problem is that the Hardware isn't setup to accept 1700 it is a antenna issue not software. Just thought I would let you know before you brick your or someone else's device

I and others already mentioned that, but if they don't listen what can we do, let them learn the hard way.
Thanks for the info, best of luck on all your work!
FYI, soft bricks aren't a problem when you keep back ups handy, and just flashing the VS980,D800,D801 and the D805 modem.img's have caused nothing more than UI crashes, some random reboots and no network settings at all available, easily fixed with original modem.img, I would NEVER recommend doing anything I haven't put my own phone through first and having recovery in place, thanks though!
